Rikki-tikki-tavi

In this beautiful edition, Lambert Davis's lush, realistic paintings bring new life to Nobel Prize-winner Rudyard Kipling's beloved story of courage, honor, and friendship between a mongoose and a boy. "Kipling's language and sense of story are superior as they develop the theme of loyalty, and the illustrations, lush with greenery, impart a sense of place and time while remaining focused on the story."-- American Bookseller
